The things that anchor Ranjini Haridas said in connection with the Hema committee report are noteworthy. Ranjini Haridas talks about the report through her YouTube channel. “Malayalam cinema is going through big crises. I don’t understand why it took four years to release this report. The Hema Committee report has now been released as part of a special agenda. Topics that come out about sexuality in general are heated. Ranjini says that there is a doubt whether this report has come out to forget about some other problem. The Hema Committee report has come before the general public as a 235-page report. It details the violence faced by women. The media is giving more attention to such issue and giving them an opportunity to make many allegations. But another important point is that this report does not cover only physical abuse of women. Many other issues are also pointed at.
Many people are exploiting junior artistes for money. Middlemen intervene and take a percentage from the money due to the junior artistes. 500 rupees or so a day reaches the hands of junior artists. Such problems are caused by flaws in this system. Why isn’t anyone trying to fix it? The report also clearly mentions the violation of human rights. All the accused are known to me personally. So it was a shock when I heard this. I have known all of them for the past several years. None of them misbehaved with me. I don’t know if it was because of my nature or because of some other reason that I didn’t have that experience.
